crabtree


CRABTREE?

I haven't seen much of him but if he plays for shudds he can't be great shakes and he is handled by good defences.

Would of gone with Carvell over Crabtree as he adds more impact. Tom Briscoe deserves his place, hasn't put a foot wrong in any game for club and country. Eastmond on the bench is a good call, as is the halves parntership of McGuire and Tomkins. Would of prefered Moore as hooker though. Westwood isn't as bad as people make out either. Burgess should be starting in second row with Graham dropped to bench.

Please tell me who should be the current 6 and 13?

Depends who they support. Think Smith has the 6, 7 and 13 right. McGuire is in on form, Tomkins is in on form and Sinfield is in on form.

And if Carvell would have been put on the bench instead of Crabtree, he would have been called for Warrington bias.

I think that team is capable if the defence is solid. Thats a big if though.

The Warrington players in the squad have been good this season.

Morley - Man of Steel contender
Carvell - along with Morley, been immense for Wire
Westwood - been good, maybe have Jones Buchanan instead
Bridge - quality cover for the centres and at stand off

They must of done something right to win the Cup.

Yeah got easy draws

Its true, they did...

Crabtree has been immense for Huddersfield, you know, the team that finished 3rd in the league, with the best defence and 3rd best attack.

Crabtree was at the heart of that attack, and has shattered even the very best defences all season.

If you think otherwise, then your opinion isnt based on any single facet of anything thats actually happened this season.

Agree.

Some must want Eastmond and Wilkin...

how much has t briscoe played all season??

6 weeks hardly a long period, will be fresh for this game after a long season with the giants.. cup and play offs included

crabtree was fit last week and could of played at a push but seeing that he has recently had a knee op was seen best to leave another week

COME ON ENGLAND!!

Wilkin hasn't much all season really. Eastmond I think warrants a place in the 17 because of his form, but the utility bench spot is the place for him.

13 games this year, would of played more if he didn't get a long term injured in April. Plus 16 games the season before aswell as a Wembley performance. Think Huddersfield fans have to accept that a lot on here rate Carvell more than Crabtree.

Oh dear. Is there any player who hasn't been singled out for criticism yet?

As for the Briscoe vs Fox debate, this just seems like another opportunity for the same old Hull vs KR squabbling. Reminds me of a few years ago when Horne was played on the wing outside Senior, and all the Hull fans could do was whinge about Senior's service to his wingman, never mind the bigger picture.

Tbh I think the team is as good as it will get given the players available. I think he's gone for Westwood for his mobility and workrate over Carvell.

so how many since aprill?? should fox not be in instead? what you going on about last season for?
